You know, I’d almost feel bad for Jim Acosta if he weren’t such a smug and self-assured human being.

Almost. But at the end of the day, you reap what you sow.

And if you make a name for yourself just being a generally obnoxious leftist mouthpiece trying to agitate the president, you’re going to hear about it when you’re wrong.

When Acosta made the unbelievably absurd gaffe of inadvertently proving that Trump’s proposed border walls actually do work, you just knew an avalanche of criticism was about to fall down on his head.

I found some steel slats down on the border. But I don’t see anything resembling a national emergency situation.. at least not in the McAllen TX area of the border where Trump will be today. pic.twitter.com/KRoLdszLUu

“Jim Acosta Here At An Aquarium Where, For Some Reason, This Glass Wall Was Built To Keep Water From This Area, But We’re All Completely Dry! There’s No Water Anywhere!” may be favorite of that bunch.

“Dear Diary, today I visited a Fire Department but I saw no fires…” another funny one reads. “What’s the point of firefighters really?”

Another good one shows Acosta wondering where all the crime was while standing outside of a prison wall.

Point being, you can’t be an agitator and not expect to be agitated back.

We reached out to CNN DC bureau Senior Director Lauren Pratapas by email to see if CNN or Acosta would like to comment on the torrid backlash his video received. We have not received a response at the time of publication.
